Singer BoA will release a new mini-album later this month, according to the K-pop star's agency, SM Entertainment, Tuesday.
Through the singer's official social network channels, the agency announced she would drop her third mini-album, titled "Forgive Me," at 6 p.m. on Nov. 22. Reservations for the album at online and offline shops started Tuesday.
A teaser image of BoA lying on a sofa of a studio was also disclosed.
The new EP, with six tracks, will be the first release since her 10th full-length album, "BETTER," in December 2020 which marked the 20 anniversary of her debut. Since then, BoA has been engaged in activities other than her solo career, such as being a part of "GOT the beat," a unit of SM's female artist project Girls On Top (GOT), and participating as a judge in Mnet's dance competition show, "Street Man Fighter."
BoA, who debuted at the age of 14 in 2000, has set numerous records as one of the leading K-pop singers at the early stage of "hallyu," or Korean wave, often being dubbed the "Star of Asia." She was the first Korean artist to top Japan's Oricon weekly chart and to be on the Billboard 200 chart in 2009. Her major hit songs include "No. 1" (2002), "Valenti" (2002), "Atlantis Princess" (2003), "My Name" (2004), "Hurricane Venus" (2010) and "Better" (2020).
